Contextual enrichment of ANPR results

Data enrichment and contextual data is used to enhance raw information and broaden or deepen the narrow context of original data. It is used in all sectors, throughout all industries including the security and mobility industry. In combination with license plate recognition it is used for law enforcement, in access control solutions and to enrich […]

Freedom of projection and positioning

A Gatekeeper is built to facilitate deployment. The varifocal lens, the onboard LED illumination and PoE+ ensure freedom of projection and simplify positioning. A large recognition range, wide field-of-view and a 40° recognition angle are the result of hardware specifications and a versatile ANPR engine. Translated to real project situations, these specs lighten the installer’s […]

Edge based visual intelligence

Until recently the design of high quality security cameras have always been at the forefront of the electronics industry. Digital pixel technologies led to unprecedented gains in image quality and framerates, boosting video performance. Surveillance cameras became better observers, but still functioned like portholes; useful only when someone looks through them. Today’s innovations concentrate on […]
